The Significance of the Joseon-jido(Map of Korea) Kept in National Museum of Korea in History of Cartography

This article is about the cartohistorical value and significance of the 『Joseon-jido. 朝鮮地圖, Map of Korea』, the copy of the 『Dongguk-daejeondo, 東國大全圖 Great map of Korea.』 by Jeong Sang-Gi(鄭尙驥), which is the collection of the National Museum of Korea. The conclusions are as follows. First, by the contents of the map, it is presumed that the map was made between the years 1757-1767. Therefore, it is easy to assume that the map was made in 1740s. Among the others, the map was made in the earliest days. Second, the 『Joseon-jido』 was drawn on the fine silk with the delicate lines, and the map has rvtanchuria of China and Japan, which were presumed to be included in the original map. Also, comparing the copies of 『Paldo-bundo, 八道分圖 Maps of Eight Provinces』 by Jeong to the map by trigonometry calculation, we can presume that both of the map were made by the same scale. By these reasons, the 『Joseon-jido』 is presumed to be the Dongguk-daejeondo in 『YoungJo Sillok, Annals ofKing YoungJo』, which Jeong Hang-Ryung(鄭恒齡). son of Jeong Sang-Gi(鄭尙驥). brought from home and copied it to provide the map to the HongMoonKwan(弘文館, Office of Special Advisers) in 1957(33th year of King YoungJo) Third, there are over 2200 place names mentioned in the 『Joseon-jido』, and these names are also mentioned in the Dongguk-daejeondo and the Paldo-bundo. Most of the place names of the natural features were that of the mountains. and the name of the hills were mentioned in detail. Most of the place names of the civil features were that of the military facilities, such as military camps and the mountain castles. Therefore. it can be said that the map had administrative and military purpose. Fourth, the expression of the landscape followed the classic mountain range-centered understanding while at the same time stressing the six Jeongmaks(正脈, Secondary Mountain Range), the important military defence line. The traffic route was expressed in detail among the other civil features, and the mountain castles. military camps and the signal fire were also expressed in detail with the more symbolized marks. Fifth, unlike the existed articles. the map expressed the changes in the military camps, mountain castles, traffic routes, stations and the signal fires.
